>Her hair was up in a ponytail
>
>Her favorite dress tied with a bow.
>
>Today was Daddy's Day at school,
>
>And she couldn't wait to go.
>
>
>But her mommy tried to tell her,
>
>That she probably should stay home.
>
>Why the kids might not understand,
>
>If she went to school alone.
>
>
>But she was not afraid;
>
>She knew just what to say.
>
>What to tell her classmates
>
>Of why he wasn't there today.
>
>
>But still her mother worried,
>
>For her to face this day alone.
>
>And that was why once again,
>
>She tried to keep her daughter home.
>
>
>But the little girl went to school,
>
>Eager to tell them all.
>
>About a dad she never sees
>
>A dad who never calls.
>
>
>
>
>There were daddies along the wall in back,
>
>For everyone to meet.
>
>Children squirming impatiently,
>
>Anxious in their seats.
>
>
>One by one the teacher called,
>
>A student from the class.
>
>To introduce their daddy,
>
>As seconds slowly passed.
>
>
>At last the teacher called her name,
>
>Every child turned to stare.
>
>Each of them was searching,
>
>For a man who wasn't there.
>
>
>"Where's her daddy at?"
>
>She heard a boy call out.
>
>"She probably doesn't have one,"
>
>Another dared to shout.
>
>
>And from somewhere near the back,
>
>She heard a daddy say,
>
>"Looks like another deadbeat dad,
>
>Too busy to waste his day."
>
>
>
>The words did not offend her,
>
>As she smiled up at her Mom.
>
>And looked back at her teacher,
>
>Who told her to go on.
>
>
>And with hands behind her back,
>
>Slowly she began to speak.
>
>And out from the mouth of a child,
>
>Came words incredibly unique.
>
>
>"My Daddy couldn't be here,
>
>Because he lives so far away.
>
>But I know he wishes he could be,
>
>Since this is such a special day.
>
>
>And though you cannot meet him,
>
>I wanted you to know.
>
>All about my daddy,
>
>And how much he loves me so.
>
>
>He loved to tell me stories
>
>He taught me to ride my bike....
>
>He surprised me with pink roses,
>
>And taught me to fly a kite.
>
>
>
>We used to share fudge sundaes,
>
>And ice cream in a cone.
>
>
>
>And though you cannot see him,
>
>
>I'm not standing here alone.
>
>
>
>"Cause my daddy's always with me,
>
>Even though we are apart
>
>I know because he told me,
>
>He'll forever be in my heart"
>
>
>With that, her little hand reached up,
>
>And lay across her chest.
>
>Feeling her own heartbeat,
>
>Beneath her favorite dress.
>
>
>And from somewhere in the crowd of dads,
>
>Her mother stood in tears.
>
>Proudly watching her daughter,
>
>Who was wise beyond her years.
>
>
>For she stood up for the love
>
>Of a man not in her life.
>
>Doing what was best for her,
>
>Doing what was right.
>
>
>And when she dropped her hand back down,
>
>Staring straight into the crowd.
>
>She finished with a voice so soft,
>
>But its message clear and loud.
>
>
>I love my daddy very much,
>
>He's my shining star.
>
>And if he could, he'd be here,
>
>But heaven's just too far.
>
>
>You see he was a fireman
>
>And died just this past year
>
>When airplanes hit the towers
>
>And taught Americans to fear.
>
>
>But sometimes when I close my eyes,
>
>It's like he never went away."
>
>And then she closed her eyes,
>
>And saw him there that day.
>
>
>And to her mother's amazement,
>
>She witnessed with surprise.
>
>A room full of daddies and children,
>
>All starting to close their eyes.
>
>
>Who knows what they saw before them,
>
>Who knows what they felt inside.
>
>Perhaps for merely a second,
>
>They saw him at her side.
>
>
>"I know you're with me Daddy,"
>
>To the silence she called out.
>
>And what happened next made believers,
>
>Of those once filled with doubt.
>
>
>Not one in that room could explain it,
>
>For each of their eyes had been closed.
>
>But there on the desk beside her,
>
>Was a fragrant long-stemmed pink rose.
>
>
>And a child was blessed, if only for a moment,
>
>By the love of her shining bright star.
>
>And given the gift of believing,
>
> That heaven is never too far.
>
>They say it takes a minute to find a special person, an hour to appreciate them, a day to love them, but then an entire life to forget them.
>
>Send this phrase to the people you'll never forget and remember to send it also to the person that sent it to you.... It's a short message to let them know that you'll never forget them. If you don't send it to anyone, it means you're in a hurry and that you've forgot your friends..
>
>Take the time...to live and love. Until eternity. God bless.

>There were 10,000 children that lost a parent on 9/11
